About this map

Leatherwood Cr and its complex system of tributaries carve through the landscape of Perry County, anchoring small communities like Tilford and Delphia. The drainage pattern here, defined by names such as Right Fork Hicks Br and Little Leatherwood Cr, dictates the placement of winding mountain roads and local settlements. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the confluence of Blair Fork and Defeated Cr near Tilford highlights a classic Appalachian settlement pattern where development follows the valley floors.

Several smaller locales, including Slemp, Beehive, and Wentz, are situated along the creek beds, connected by a network of specialized local routes like Bee Hive Rd and Jackson Fork Rd. The northern reaches transition into the Line Fork drainage, where Hallie and Banks occupy the narrow corridors between rising ridges. This survey provides a precise look at the geography of these hollows during the early twenty-first century.
